Dexter Gordon and Red Rodney '' Buzzy '' 1975

[@timchapman5567]

Wonderful.

[@desperatetimes5873]

Red looks so happy in this to be back playing jazz after being in Vegas. He won a $25K paper keno jackpot and left Vegas and joined up with Dex. I knew both and they were gentlemen. I worked in the Canary Islands with Dex in 1970 -1971. Those were the days!

[@PabloVestory]

Amazing! thank you so much!

[@bernardweldon9751]

Had the greatest of pleasure seeing Dexter in Philly doing Soy Califas great CD

[@gaylandsmith4242]

Dex just played (for me) one of the greatest blues solos of all-time and the audience reaction is near comatose??? At least Red Rodney got a reaction. Dex is the greatest of all time and any idiom.

[@MrJellyton]

Seriously. Dex is so melodic it's insane. I remember someone else commented on a different Dex video saying that he always takes each idea to it's logical conclusion. Can't agree enough.

[@birdleso]

I was able to catch both of these guys live, though separately. Gordon was opening for Miles Davis at The Hollywood Bowl, so not too shabby regardless.

[@chrisdennehy9425]

Great swinging pairing.

[@dukesboneman]

Giants swingin` !!

[@ericliang4744]

This almost sounds like NHOP on bass

[@danjv]

You are right about that. Most definitely NHOP on bass.

[@johnnicholas7420]

@@danjv Looks and sounds like Kenny Drew in piano. (Hard to tell from the lighting.) Don't know who the drummer is. It is not Alex Riel, but he looks familiar.

[@rolfkristianknudsen2437]

The drummer is Svend Erik Nørregaard.

[@lottierose8668]

dexter learned a lot from bird

[@michaeldahnke1749]

Great playing but not a good recording. You really don't get the breadth and depth of Dexter's tone and timbre.

[@timeisnow4116]

This is what happens when a trumpet player is not original n copies Lee Morgan licks, note for note, and trys way to hard to sound like him, sry but no respect from me. Dexter sounds great tho!!!

[@wesm65]

Interesting comment. Red Rodney was on the bebop scene in the early days of the late '40s and early '50s when he played with Bird, as portrayed in the film "Bird". Lee Morgan had not emerged at this point - he was only a boy then. He emerged to prominence around 1956 when he joined Dizzy's band. This is a video from Red Rodney's comeback in the 70s. So Rodney may have been influenced by Morgan in the intervening years - I don't know. Here is with Bird: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH6bd5d3jNNpesk

[@bensherman1628]

he played with bird red rodney and u say u have no respect for him lee morgan copied him if anything smfh :(

[@shaunmcdonough9016]

Red predates Lee Morgan and was playing with top acts when Lee was just a kid. He played with Bird before Lee was even a professional musician. If there's any copying that was done, it would have had to have been the other way around, but of course there wasn't. Red was influenced by Bird and Dizzy (who wasn't that played bebop) and Lee's first big job was with Dizzy's band so he also had to be influenced by Dizzy which is why you may hear some similarities. But to make the kind of comment you did about someone who actually was a predecessor of someone else is puzzling to be kind.

[@bobjuke4216]

What an ignorant comment!!
